    Hey guys, does having traction control on all the time consume more gas? or it doesnt really effect the gas mileage at all?

    TCS is onyl active when the car sense's that a wheel is slipping or spinning. It will then counter it by applying power to the other wheel to try and gain traction.

    It has nuthing to do with mpgs.

    reduces engine timing and power when active, if you keep trying to spin out with it on it's going to hurt gas mileage, but thats pretty much common sense.
